District Health Barometer (DHB)

The District Health Barometer (DHB) is produced annually and illustrates important aspects of the health system at district level through analysis of a selected range of health indicators. Data feeding into the report are drawn from a range of sources, including the South African Department of Health, Statistics South Africa, the National Tuberculosis register and National Treasury. It is the only publication of its kind in South Africa and makes available comparative data for measuring and tracking progress in delivering primary health care services at district level.
